To properly document your training and ensure it meets OSHA standards, Quality OSHA Training documents student training according to ANSI Z490.1-2016, Section 7.4, Issuing Certificates, which is what OSHA is looking for when they review an employer’s OSHA technical safety training records.

Recommended certification of training should include:

• Trainee’s name
• Course title
• Date, location and hours of instruction
• Statement that the trainee has successfully completed the course
• Name and address of training provider
• Date periodic refresher training is due (if required) or expiration date
• A unique trainee identification number
• The level of training or type of certificate awarded
• Any other information required by regulation
• Number of credits (CECs, CEUs, etc), if issued. Make sure employees have met all requirements for credits.
